Manitoba has been making so much
stir of late that q glimpse at her record
may not be out of place. Manitoba lies
due north of our states of Minnesota
and Dakota. Its area is 154, ,511 square
miles, or about three and a half times
that of Ohio. Its population amount
ing to about 10000, is very mixed.
Manitoba was received by Canada from
the Hudson Bay Co. In 1869, and the
following year, upon the demand ofthe
inhabitants, was granted local legisla-
ture and representation in the Domin-
ion parliament. The province sends
two members to the Senate and four to
the House of Commons. The executive
department. of the government consists
of a Lieutenant-Govern appointed by
the Governor-G General of the Dominion
and assisted by a council of six per-
sons. A council of seven appointed for
life and an assembly of 20 members
elected for four years comprise the legis-
lature. The common law of England
prevails. Public business is carried on
in both English and French. The ex-
penses of the province are paid in great
part from the Dominion treasury. Win

In 1913 Mr. Ruskin published his "Modern
Painters" which was defense of landscape
art, especially of the paintings Of Turner It
was completed in five volumes in 1850.
Meantime he Travelled extensively, and also
produced 1.-THE Seven lamps of Architec-
ture" and "The Stones of Venice" He as
serted the superiority Of modern art over
ancient art, and was among the first support
ers of the pre- e-Raphaelite school in one branch
at least. In 1867 he was named Rede pro-
fessor at Cambridge, in 1869 professor Of the
fine arts at Oxford and later Slade professor.
Mr.. Ruskin's home, Brentwood, is built
romantically, but unhealthfully, at the base
Of O hill near the edge of Coniston lake, one
OF the loveliest spots in the English lake dis
trict When he purchased it the house was
mere crumbling shed; but he has made It a
dwelling fit for philosopher, If not king.
Curiously enough q supertition prevails
among his ignoront neighbors that the curse
Of insanity is sure to fall upon the proprietors
Of Brentwood. An artist named Lynton,
who formerly owned IT, lost his mind and
died there. This, Of course, gave rise to the
superstition. Within the house is an inex-
haustible museum Of artistic treasures Pic
lures there are in abundance, enough to crys-
tallixe into fortune. Among them are
many Turner's, since Ruskin was q Turner
worshiper. Art and science are equally
represented in the various articles lying
about--here a manuscript, there picture;
here section OF a stone, there the anatomy
of q plant. The furniture Of the house is
strong and substantial-not In the least
aesthetic. Much Of it belonged to Mr.. Rus
kin's father -
OF Ruskin's inherited wealth nothing re-
mains-nothing but the pictures. 1t has
melted away under the fervor Of his passion
for everything that Is rare, beautiful and
costly. And he has always had certain ideas
Of comfort which it took money to crafty.
For long time past he could not be induced
to travel by rail or steamboat if it could be
avoided, but went about in his private car
riage. Then, too, he was generous to q ruin
Gus degree. For years he had a list Of PEN
sioners who would cause the purse Of a
Vanderbilt to collapse. They were mostly
writer's who failed to get coin for their work,
and artists who had made the fight and
broken down before it was ended. His books
bring him in from $4,000 to 5000 year,
and upon this he is now living. Even that
gets sadly straitened sometimes, and occa-
sionally picture disappears and is sold in
London by dealer who has been Ruskins
lifelong friend, and always for far higher
price than Mr. Ruskin paid for it. The fact
that it is from his collection enhances its
yAlue.
